forgive the double post, wasn't sure if the list serve picked this up or
not.

These routines may be viable for adding to the core.

I've attached a DynLayer addon from my forthcoming Component Pack.

It adds a method called moveToImage(imagename)

It's based on an idea i picked up from brainjar.com.
Essentially what you do is place a blank shim on your page where you
want
your control to go and give the image a NAME="".
Then, you simply call moveToImage to get it to go there.

i.e.

<img src="blankshim.gif" name="boldButtonImg">

boldButton.moveToImage('boldButtonImg')

don't forget to also call this method on a onResize() event.

Hi, I am using the buttonimage in the ibs widget set.  To place the
button
relative to other elements on the page, I create an inline dynlayer and
then
move the object to the location of the inline dummy layer.  After lots
of
experimentation, I got this to work in Internet Explorer.  However, I am
having problems with the placement in Netscape.  The following is my
code:

DynAPI.onLoad=function() {
	boldButton = new IbsButtonImage()
	boldButton.setImages(DynAPI.getImage("/images/bold.gif", 20,
20),DynAPI.getImage("/images/bold_up.gif",20,20))

	lisBold = new EventListener()
	lisBold.onselect = function(e) {
		boldThis() // boldThis defined later
	}
	boldButton.addEventListener(lisBold)

	dummyBold = DynAPI.document.all["boldB"]
	dummyBold.addChild(boldButton)

	.
	.
	.
}


Html:

<span id="divRelative" style="position: relative">

<div id="boldB" style="position: absolute;left:0;top:1"></div>

</span>

I can get the buttons to appear if I add the boldButton object to
DynAPI.document but cannot add it is a child of 'dummyBold'.  Anybody
know
why this would work in ie but not netscape?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
